Commission on
Fanning Survey
May Visit Omaha
Senator Norris Slated to Be
Member of Proposed Body
If He Can Spare Time
From Other Duties.
Washington, May 25. (Special
leiegram.) 1 lie commission on
agricultural inquiry which it is ex
pected congress will create to make
a general survey of all branches of
agriculture will bring to Washing
ton a number of Nebraska men as
sociated with farmers' unions of that
state.
Senator Norris, chairman of the
committee on agriculture, who will
undoubtely be a member of the com
mission, if he can possibly spare the
time from his exacting duties, will
insist upon Nebraska farm leaders
being heard and may even broaden
the scope of the commission's activi
ties by suggesting calling represen
tatives of industries enot strictly
agricultural in character, but never
theless having intimate relations with
farmers, to the end that the fuller
information possible may be had to
aid in perfecting future legislation.
It is understood that the commis
sion will go into finance, credits,
transportation and other matters
which underlie the whole agricultural
lit uon with special reference to the
qu ion of distribution and exports
nsofar as these affect the farmer
If Senator Norris is not appointed
to membership in the commission he
will at least be one of its most valu
able advisors. Senator Lenroot, au
thor of the resolution to create the
commission, said that Senator Norris
would be consulted as to personnel,
orocedure and other matters as
sociated with the duties of that
body.
It is understood that former Con
gressman . . Pollard, one of the
leaders in the farmer union move
ment in Nebraska, will be invited
to give testimony before the com
mission. Mr. Pallard was one ot
the delegates to the farmer union
convention which met in this city
last month. He heartily approved
the plan of President Barrett to ask
congress to create a commission of
agricultural inquiry.
"Nebraska is a very important
agricultural state and leaders there
should be able to supply the pro
posed commission with information
of a mct valuable character," said
Mr. Barrett. "As a distributing
point Omaha is one of the leading
cities in the United States. From
leaders there we ought to be able to
glean some enlightening facts on the
subject or distribution.
"Some of the senators who are en
thusiastically supporting the plan to
create a commission of agricultural
inquiry are suggesting that the com
mission should visit Omaha and tor
a week or two make its headquarters
there. Witnesses from all sections
of the middlewest could assemble in
the Nebraska metropolis instead of
coming to Washington to give testi
mony.
